Publisher's Summary:

Meanwhile, private investigator Wyatt Hunt, Juhle's best friend, finds himself smitten with the beautiful and enigmatic Andrea Parisi. A lawyer who recently has become a celebrity as a commentator on Trial TV, Andrea has star power in spades, and seems bound for a national anchor job in New York City. Until Juhle discovers that Andrea, too, had a connection to the judge, along with a client that had everything to gain from the judge's death.

Andrea becomes Juhle's prime suspect. Wyatt Hunt thinks she may be a kidnap victim, or worse...another murder victim. And far more than that, she's someone with whom he believes he may have a future.

As the search for Andrea intensifies, Hunt gathers a loose band of friends and associates willing to bend and even break the rules, leading to a chilling confrontation from which none of them might escape.

Not up to his usual excellence

I found this selection from one of my favorite authors to be a bit of a stretch. Still engaging but not at all up to the standard which I have come to look forward to in John Lescroart's excellent crime and legal thrillers. I also must admit I am partial to David Colacci's narrations.

Hunting for a new Sandford series?

I liked Wyatt Hunt and the group he's gathered and calls The Hunt Club. They are clever and dedicated, and from a variety of law and order related professions. Wyatt Hunt is the heart of this group and I thought the book was at it's best when Wyatt was front and center.

Not as good as the usual Lescroart

I love this author's book, but this one wasn't quite up to snuff. The narrator was terrible, especially with women's voices.

The narrator sounds like a moron

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A narrator that didn't sound moronic. I love John lescoart & I've read & then listened to nearly all his books but this set my teeth on edge. The narrator maybe. Thinks its amusing but it's moronic - I just couldn't stand it. I persevered for 2 hours but that was it. Sorry

This narrator is the worst I've ever encountered.

Wow. The narrator absolutely killed the story. The women and children all had the same high-pitched, infantalized voice. Male characters other than the protagonist were given a dopey voice that made them sound mentally-challenged. Awkward pauses, terrible accents, and staccato dialogue--this narrator had it all.

Normally I'm a fan of Lescroart's books, but the narrator really made this one unbearable. How does someone so terrible at it actually make narration their career?? I'll never listen to another book he reads again.

Publisher's Summary:

Tensions between Pakistan and India are at an all-time high. To complicate matters, 12 American climbers have disappeared in the snow-capped peaks of Pakistan's Hindu Kush range. The president is demanding answers, but neither government is supplying them.

As the conflict escalates, Brynn Fitzgerald departs Washington D.C. on her first official trip as acting secretary of state. Her goal is to serve as an intermediary between the leaders of both nations as well as to ensure all efforts are being made in the search for the missing American climbers. But when Fitzgerald's motorcade is ambushed on the outskirts of Islamabad, her back-up team arrives to discover a disastrous scene: dozens are dead, including seven diplomatic security agents, and the secretary of state has vanished without a trace.

In the wake of the unprecedented attack, Kealey's operation goes into high gear. Once again, he is joined by Naomi Kharmai, the British-born analyst who has taken on a daring new role with the Agency. But Kharmai is becoming as unpredictable as the man they're going after, and as they work their way toward the target, it becomes clear to Kealey that anyone is fair game - and no one can be trusted.

MaaKKEEE ITTT STTTOOOOOOP

sometimes you try to listen to a book, and it's soooo bad that you keep telling yourself you must go write a review to save others the torture. the narrator, Mr. J. Charles, was bad enough - worst narrator ever for a terrorist thriller!!! - but a thriller that is non-stop background narration/explanation?!? very poor use of dialogue and other techniques to develop the story. it drones on and on and on. I usually consume a quality thriller in 3 days or less, but this one bored me to sleep - figuratively and literally - so many times that I had to go back and re-listen to parts over and over. a huge waste of a potential

Best to skip this one

This book is a bad combination of the wrong narrator, armature writing, and not even good characters. The result is a book you struggle to stay with and one you want to turn off. The narration is awful. This is the first book I have listened to that J. Charles was the narrator. He was totally wrong for this work. He cant do accents, cant do women and he sounds too old to be a vibrant young Ryan Kealy. The book itself contains too much lecture background that isn't creatively written, the dialogue is unsophisticated (hard to believe the President and senior officials speak so simply). And for the USs top operative, the Presidents go to guy, well he sure behaves like an inexperienced operative. I have listened to others in the series and this clearly is one to skip.

Terrible narration

In print version the book would be compelling---however, the new narrator is so poorly suited that I had to struggle to finish the book!

The Invisible

A good read, not as riviting as Britton's first two thrillers. The characters aren't as strong and the storyline is more predictibile. The book is still well worth reading.

Not worth Buying

Was a expecting a Vince Flynn action packed narrative, fell Way below the mark.

I wasted my freebie for the month!

Publisher's Summary:

Cotton Malone, one-time top operative for the U.S. Justice Department, is enjoying his quiet new life as an antiquarian book dealer in Copenhagen when an unexpected call to action reawakens his hair-trigger instincts and plunges him back into the cloak-and-dagger world he thought he'd left behind.

It begins with a violent robbery attempt on Cotton's former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle, who's far from home on a mission that has nothing to do with national security. Armed with vital clues to a series of centuries-old puzzles scattered across Europe, she means to crack a mystery that has tantalized scholars and fortune-hunters through the ages by finding the legendary cache of wealth and forbidden knowledge thought to have been lost forever when the order of the Knights Templar was exterminated in the 14th century. But she's not alone. Competing for the historic prize, and desperate for the crucial information Stephanie possesses, is Raymond de Roquefort, a shadowy zealot with an army of assassins at his command.

Welcome or not, Cotton seeks to even the odds in the perilous race. But the more he learns about the ancient conspiracy surrounding the Knights Templar, the more he realizes that even more than lives are at stake. At the end of a lethal game of conquest, rife with intrigue, treachery, and craven lust for power, lies a shattering discovery that could rock the civilized world and, in the wrong hands, bring it to its knees.

Members Reviews:

Good Book.

I enjoyed the book. It wasn't amazing but it was a decent read. The reader is alright...nothing special. This book still deserves 4 stars.

tolerable DV Code isomer

This book promised to be entertaining in the beginning but stalled at the finish, ending in a clumsy anti-Christian skeptic rant. It is so similar in parts to the DV Code that even a character or two have the same name. This book is fine if you are driving long distances and need audible companionship, but poor if you like this genre and enjoy Christian skeptic theology.

Just Not Good

I'm unsure if this book lacked because of poor narration or a disjointed plot and bad character development. I gutted through this one thinking something might save it, but no. My rating is charitable.

Yuck!

We have bad science int The Romanov Prophecy ( mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from your mother) to bad theology in The Templar Legacy. What a waste of a credit. No more Steve Berry for me! The French accent was way over done to the point of being impossible to understand.

Publisher's Summary:

Repetto paid his dues. Over 20 years on the force, obtaining a captain's rank and injured in the line of duty, he's earned his retirement. Yet he can't help feeling responsible for the lives The Night Sniper has taken, and will continue to take if his challenge remains unanswered. The decision is snatched from his hands when the next victim is murdered right before Repetto's eyes. Now, the game is truly set to begin, but The Night Sniper doesn't realize that they're playing by Repetto's rules

Critic Reviews:

"Lutz skillfully brings to life the sniper's various victims." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Gripping and Predictable

I really loved "Fear the Night" and Lutz does himself proud with the riveting story of the night stalker terrorizing New York City in a post 9/11 mindset. Nobody does this stuff better than Lutz and I am always eager to read and or listen to his brilliant predictability. Everything always turns out right and the good guys, often injured, just never bite the bullet. Still, in hindsight, while he keeps you enthralled all the way to the end, you never should have had any doubt that in Lutz-world the nice guys always win.

Fear the Night

Well written, fast paced. Worth listening to. Would have liked a slightly different ending, but ultimately the author puts everything together well, drawing to a dramatic close.

A Good Listen!

The Author manages to keep your attention from beginning to end. Although the ending was a little weak, for the many hours of suspenceful build-up, it was an enjoyable listening experience. My first John Lutz book and I was not disappointed.

interesting angle: a solid 3/5

I really liked the "homeless" angle taken in this book ... it lead to a wealth of possibilities! Despite a slow start, it is worth sticking with the book to see the characters fully develop. There are however, too many of them so it is might be tough to keep up. Especially with the shifts back in time. A little crass at times and clearly "New York" blue collar.

Worth the time

I thought this book was pretty good however the ending could have been a little better. All in all it was worth the time and I would recommend it.

Publisher's Summary:

The danger isn't in the water.

Working as a lifeguard at a Florida resort, Ned Kelly meets a woman he is wild about, the woman of his dreams. It feels perfect in every way, except that she is used to caviar and Manolo Blahniks, and he is used to burgers and flip-flops. She is a guest at the luxurious hotel, he lives above a garage.

So when Ned's cousin offers to cut him in on a rich deal he's been commissioned to execute, Ned can't turn him down. The plan is simple, just a fast break-and-enter. The risk is high, and the reward is even greater: $5 million. But on the night of the heist, something goes devastatingly wrong. Who will save the lifeguard?

Ned walks away from his job, his town, and the woman he's fallen in love with. Runs away, actually, knowing that only velocity and secrecy can save his life. But who is pursuing him? The FBI? Whoever sabotaged the heist? Or is it all somehow tied into his new love, and his oldest enemies?

Critic Reviews:

"Don't be fooled by the title of Patterson's latest thrilling yarn: the action goes far beyond the beach....Packing all the punches readers have come to expect from Patterson's books, this one delivers at every turn." (Booklist)

"It's a twisty story that will engage the interest of beach-goers everywhere." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Do not waste your money

My first and last of Patterson?s books. I do not know why anyone would enjoy listening to this book. You know who the killers are within the first hour of listening. Then it is just a complete unbelievable story how a FBI agent is willing to throw her career away for a two-bit crook. All I can say is this book deserves two thumbs down.

Enjoyable and Light

Took a bit of time to get into it but once the plot was established the book became very enjoyable. I listened while walking the dog and it often made me want to walk that extra block or two to hear what was coming up next. The music and sound effects added enjoyment to the book and the narrator was very pleasant to listen to. I'm not sorry I bought this one. It was my first Patterson book and I think I try another one of his books.

A disappointment

While I usually enjoy James Patterson's work, this one was a huge disappointment. The story is trite, the writing is weak. I would have expected more. To say it's the "Beach Novel of the Year" is merely paid advertising and isn't proven in the listening at all. A disappointing yawn.

Lifeguard

Boring, waste of time and money,. I have found the last 2 or 3 books by this author not to be up to his usual interesting standard.

good - not great

I was let down by this book. I would keep looking before committing to this one.

Publisher's Summary:

Members Reviews:

Wonderful except ...

... the last 2 minutes in the epilogue where the author expounds on Christian philosophy. It amounts to stating the metaphor of the book - obsession - as it relates to Christ. It added nothing to the story.

Otherwise, this was an excellent story that kept me riveted with its character development and deep understanding of human good and evil, not to mention the plot. Well worth the listen!

Taut thriller

Very unrelentingly high-strung thriller, I liked it a lot. Makes an interesting point about obsession, which seems like a bad thing, until you finish this. Interesting points on faith and evil. Consistently pulls back from magical/spooky stuff (though the evil is scary haunting). Reader was good, easy to understand (but, obviously not from LA, or he'd know how to pronounce "Brea"). Recommend if you like contrast between black & white, and can stand a constant sense of impending disaster and hopeless situations. If you haven't read the Red/Black/White triolgy of Ted Dekker's, you should. This is not quite that level, but it's pretty darn good.

Obsessed kept me in my car for hours

I have made it a habit to listen to audio books on my way to and from work. "Obsessed" has made me enjoy this time so much more and I find myself taking detours and staying in my car to listen to this story.

It is well written and Dekker has become one of my favourite authors in the Christian genre. The story flows seamlessly back and forth between 1943 and 1973 interweaving the time periods and personalities.

Just like in Thr3e you will be in suspense until the final page of the book, or in audio format until the final minute, with all of its plot twists and turns.

Only OK

There was a long stretch in the early to middle part of this book that left me wanting to put it down. But it wasn't quite bad enough to simply walk away. Thankfully, it made a turn for the better after the start of the second part. By the end of the book, I was actually interested in the characters and rooting for them. Still, the ending was only decent and I would have a hard time recommending this book. Maybe it is simply not up to what I had come to expect from Dekker after reading Thr3e and the color trilogy.

The reader was only average, but much better than the reader for Thr3e.

Dekker disappoints again!!

I read the Dekker trilogy, Black, Red and White. I got hooked on Black, unhooked on Red and swam away on White. The same thing happened with this novel. The book starts out gangbusters with a reasonable and promising premise. The author then moves from one implausible action to another. The trips to the basement of the building left me dumbfounded, especially the whole scenario with the quick drying cement. How stupid!! By the time I get to the climax, the story line has lost all credibility.

There are things to like about this authors writing. I just wish he would not lose me with implausible and inane actions from his lead characters.

Members Reviews:

Classic Survival Novel

Excellent novel with great narration. Elleston Trevor is a highly skilled writer. He is also famous for espionage novels under a different name but this book is a wonderful read with vivid characters.

It is a classic and was made into a movie with James Stewart and Richard Attenborough, among others, who did it justice. There is now a recent movie with Dennis Quaid, so we are lucky to get this in audible. What a treat! Highly recommended.

Out of the Desert

This story of men and the stuggle to survive is one that you will remember.

From start to finish Flight of the Phoenix

is not about men fighting to survive in the eternal wast of the desert, but to refuse to give up against impossible odds.

All quality all the way.

Flight of the Phoenix

Enjoyed the book. Moving rendering of the written book. Heart felt and real. It was like I was there. 5 stars

Favorite audio book of all time

I listen to this book constantly. Grover Gardeners best read. He reads each character personality perfectly and precise. Elleston Trevor wrote a great survival story here. well I can't say enough about the story obviously a masterpiece in my opinion. The Jimmy Stuart classic movie did do justice to the book, but did leave out a lot of pivotal things that the book has in it.

Saw the movie.

Excellent narator. He added accents to the subjects. The language & description of the characters very discriptive . I could all most feel the heat & thirst of the characters with death looming on the horizon. The desert was brought to life when a 30,000 ft dust storm brought the plain down. The rest you'll have to read.

Critic Reviews:

"When Anne Perry puts Thomas and Charlotte Pitt on the case, we are in exemplary Victorian company." (The New York Times)

Members Reviews:

Anne Perry NOT at her best

I am a great fan of this author which surprised me, because I generally am not drawn to anything Victorian. I have really enjoyed her books and their descriptions of life in England at this time -- for each of the social classes.

She also has great character development, and different characters or pairs of characters star in different books, making for a nice way to see all sides while still watching somewhat familiar people become even more accessible.

That said, this is not one of her better efforts. The plot really drags and there are no real clues for the reader, so we become aware of the answer at the same time as our "heroes".So, I'd recommend skipping this one entirely and read all her others.

Disappointing

I listened to 60% of the book and I really wanted to like this story as I am a fan of things relating to the era this is set in. But the story goes at a snail's pace - I kept waiting for the story to get interesting and engaging.

Surely the minor facts conveyed could've been artfully expressed in half the time this book took to do so. After being done over half the book all I've learned was that a charming foreigner is the common thread in 2 situations (possible murder and a "scandalous" flirtation with a married woman).

The entire book is just a series of conversations about how to extract info without bothering the sensibilities of the era. Hardly an interesting thing to ponder and write about incessantly.

Strong Storyline, Pleasant Plot Twists

Rutland Place is one of the stronger books in the early part of this series. The characters are sympathetic and believable, but also compelling without being over-the-top or just plain dastardly. It's not as action packed and some of the other novels about Inspector and Mrs. Pitt, but I was never bored. The plot centers on Charlotte Pitt's mother and deals with the general theme of woman's dependence on the men in her life, including marital dissatisfaction, a widow who doesn't wish to remarry, and the intricacies of a sibling relationship. As usual, the mystery is solved by an 11th-hour revelation; so if you enjoy sleuthing and sifting through various clues doled out by the author, this mayb not exactly be the book for you. But if you like character-heavy detection and being carried along the current of the story to see where it leads you, then you will enjoy Anne Perry's style. As always, Davina Porter does a masterful job narrating.

Solid Victorian Mystery

Where does Rutland Place rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This series is at the upper mid point of my favorites.

Publisher's Summary:

World War Two has ended, but the peace is threatened when a shocking murder takes place in the Sussex countryside. Before long, police discover a link to another killing hundreds of miles away....

Scotland Yard detective Billy Styles is on the case, but a strange twist of fate brings former DI John Madden into the investigations. As the victim count rises, it becomes clear that to catch this serial killer they must act quickly. But Madden remains haunted by the mysteries at the heart of the case. Why was his name in a letter the second target had been penning just before he died? Could the real clue to these perplexing murders lie within the victims' pasts? And within his own?

Members Reviews:

Excellent fourth book in the series...

British author Rennie Airth has a new book, "The Reckoning" in his John Madden series. "The Reckoning" is the fourth book, and while the three previous books were set in three different decades, this one begins after WW2 but goes back to the Great War.

Airth's books are considered "psychological mysteries" which I guess means that the deeds of the mind are as important as the deeds by the hands. Certainly murders are common in his books, but Airth is one of the best authors at looking as much at the motivation as at the act itself. "The Reckoning" begins with a look at a man trout fishing by himself. The reader knows something will happen. But, will it happen TO him or BY him?

England in 1947 was a country coming to grips with the "Peace". Rationing was still in effect and the cities were a patchwork of bombed out sites. The Labour Party had been in power since 1945 and the post-war economy was making a recovery. John Madden had long been retired from the Metropolitan Police and retired to gentleman farming, along with his doctor-wife and two children. But he retained ties with Scotland Yard and found himself involved in the murder of that fisherman...and a few others.

It doesn't take the reader long to figure out the trajectory of both the murders and the plot. The plot is actually rather mundane, but how Rennie Airth gets to the end of the story is what makes this book so good. He blends history - both the characters' and the country's - to end up solving the murders.

I couldn't decide between four stars and five stars. I considered four stars because the plot really is quite elementary, BUT ended up with five because of the quality of writing. This is a great read for Airth's many fans.

Madden is reluctantly drawn back into the world of murder.

It seems as if it has been a long, long time since a new Rennie Airth book in the John Madden series so I was absolutely ready to read this book. If you haven't read the previous novels, do yourself a favor and start at the beginning to be completely in the picture about the characters used in this story. However, if you want to begin at this point you can certainly do that easily. Airth is a writer of quality fiction and this novel is constructed so it can definitely be a stand-alone book to start the series with.

John Madden retired from the police force over twenty years before, but the past has a way of catching up to him even on the farm he has been running since he and Helen married.

Classic Cleave

I was so pleased to see this released here in NZ finally, and it didn't disappoint. Paul Cleave has a black twisted humour that reminds me of Iain Banks, and speaks to me in the same familiar language that Banks books did /do . Highly recommended!

Four Stars

Enjoyed the read.

Five Stars

Love all of his books. I've read them all. Waiting for him to write more

Very Unique

Paul Cleave became a go-to author for me a couple of years ago. He wowed me with his ability to tell such a unique, page-turning thriller. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book when I first saw it advertised. I knew that this would be yet another unique book.

This book is definitely a unique read. The basis of harvesting organs, with the recipients then taking on aspects of the donors' thoughts or mannerisms. Throw in a killer or two and you have the recipe for some page-turning scenes.

Part of the intrigue of this book is putting all of the pieces together. Who is who. Who is the killer. Who is after who. Getting all of the answers kept me turning the pages all of the way to the end.

I really had hoped that this book would have been of the same caliber as Trust No One in the sense that it would blow my mind, maybe leaving me a little dumb-founded. While I truly enjoyed this book, it did lack in those moments where my eyes were bulging and my jaw slack with shock. I think this story had the potential, however Mr. Cleave just didn't achieve that in this book.

"How can you find monsters when they can live like anybody?"

A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of reading Paul Cleave's thriller Trust No One. In that novel, Cleave managed to inject a fresh perspective into the genre while still maintaining the elements that have made me such a fan. I really enjoyed that book and was anxiously awaiting a followup. When his publisher provided me a copy of Cleave's latest novel, A Killer Harvest, I jumped at the opportunity to read it.

The persistent string of misfortune in Joshua's life can come down to only one thing. His family is cursed. How else can the death of his mother and father be explained? Why has he been plagued by blindness? Some might say he's being dramatic, but Joshua has experienced a lot of trauma in his short life. That's why the death of the detective who raised him comes as little surprise. He was investigating the disappearance of a woman when the suspect murdered him. Joshua's Uncle Ben, who happens to be his dad's partner, brought quick justice and killed the suspect on the spot.

Out of the tragedy comes a miracle. Joshua's Dad had the dying wish to donate his working organs.
